About Lucinda

Lucinda Slavin offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She uses an open, respectful style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, loss and relationship difficulties. Lucinda is identified by her BACP membership, and she works from the United Kingdom.

She focuses on what matters to each person and follows their lead in sessions. That means conversations centre on the issues a client brings, whether it is grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem or change at work.

How Lucinda works

Her approach is simple and steady rather than directive. She aims to help people discover their own answers and build confidence in everyday life. Lucinda draws on eight years practising as a counsellor alongside broader work in mental health over two decades.

That experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also helps with practical relationship topics like communication, commitment and blended family issues. Sessions may be quiet or deeply emotional, and Lucinda is comfortable staying present with whatever comes up.

She often balances silence with gentle challenge when trust has been established. The aim is to create space for honest reflection and gradual change. Online options include video, phone and messaging.

People choose whichever format fits their life, whether they prefer a face-to-face feel on video, a shorter check-in by text, or a phone conversation. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled from there.

Online support options

Person-centred counselling online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. The therapist offers understanding, warmth and acceptance, and helps the person lead the pace and direction of sessions. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and low self-esteem because it emphasises the client’s own insights and choices.

Working online with a person-centred counsellor means the process of finding the right fit is collaborative. The counsellor will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will decide how to work best, whether that means shorter check-ins by text, regular video sessions or phone conversations. The aim is to shape therapy around what helps you make progress.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel and suit longer discussions. Phone sessions are useful when less bandwidth is available or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions and flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and continue therapy alongside daily life.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
